A 1920s English seaside town bears witness to a dark, absurd scandal in this riotous mystery comedy. Based on a stranger-than-fiction true story, “Wicked Little Letters” follows two neighbours: deeply-conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents start to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women, led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss and Rose might not be the culprit after all.

Independent****  Olivia Colman hurling expletives is enough to sustain this witty true-life comedy

Open reach have closed the main road  out of Parwich again. 

They were unable to say whether they would need to do so again tomorrow or how any of us could find out if that did happen.

Allow more time for journeys !

Having read this article, I wonder if several options were missed off the survey re ‘the Creamery triangle’. https://www.rhs.org.uk/wildlife/lawn-and-mini-meadow-habitats

Strimming the edges of the green and leaving the central bit open to nature could be another option. This would hopefully alleviate the fears of people who worry about their view of the road being decreased; although I would argue that it could possibly force people to slow down – so maybe making it safer!  A partially mowed area could make an interesting study for the children of Parwich – what can they find/see in the mowed parts vs areas left to grow?  

Another option in the above article is to not mow from spring to the end of August. 

I don’t want to flog a dead horse, or cause an argument, but I’m not sure all options were carefully considered; there simply wasn’t enough reflection time given to issue. If not this year, perhaps something to consider next?

Does anyone know the female with glasses who had the audacity to do so!

Thank you,

It seems just in the last couple of nights, I’ve had someone poaching around the back garden. 

Could I please ask everyone to be vigilant and let’s keep an eye out if they return or are potentially also looking at visiting your home.

Thanks,
